@agebarowski1 I like the ideas, I study economics, and I love how science orientaded this group is. I come from Scandinavia, and we live after this system, we can only cut down the amount of trees that we can replant and etc. The same with power and energy, engineers and scientist always make evaluations here on where we can build wind power plants. But what I asume these guys wants is a globalised planned economy, you should start a politician initiative if you want something to happend :)

@agebarowski1 You remind me of someone saying that evolution was just a "shell wrapped in a thin sheet of persona," while Darwin was writing his books. These ideas are valid and are here to stay because they overpower the shitty ideas of today and yesterday (banks, nations, corporatism...).

@justthink124 Check out " A history of warfare" by John Keegan. Their is a bunch of reasons people fight, in fact too many for society to control. This book provides a shit-ton of historical evidence to substantiate this argument. People always find a reason to fight, it is enviable. Check out this book, it really impacted my way of thinking concerning allot of things. Like for example Napoleon commissioned the invention of margarine! Crazy, no?

@TheZombie369 and why do people do bad things to each other? no one is inherently evil, alright, its based on societal uprising and conditioning. Poverty is by far the greatest cause of crime out there, eliminate that, and ill bet you at least 95% of crimes will stop. the other cases need to be treated, not punished. if you need more, watch their 3 hour film, itl clarify this pretty well.

The concept works but only to people that do not do bad things to each other!!!

@respomanify I have noticed that too, but I think society will eventually have to be more like the one in the video. However, having to give up a mansion or whatever for a little, hi-tech homestead, and having to rely on technocrats is scary for those who have studied history, not to mention how supply and demand will work. Anyway, I think it's a good video, and like Ron Paul, like him or not, raises new issues, these people help to create a new paradigm shift in the public.
@GeneralMaximus4 ...Do you honestly believe that every person on the planet needs to be familiar with this movement? The people that are capable of moving us forward will be a smaller group of movers and shakers, a considerably smaller group than you are calculating. There needs to be articulation, resources, and motivation. Starvation is a great motivator as we can see by OWS and similar movements around the World.

Do something then. The Zeitgeist movement is a shell rapped in a thin sheet of persona. I have followed this movement for a while now and never heard about any steps taken to achieve their goals. Good Ideas, not acted upon, are just words. Good ideas though.
